Board-2020-Mtg-3-Evaluation Advisory Committee Chair Report
Section A: Introduction
• This report provides the Board with an overview of the activities of the
Evaluation Advisory Committee (EAC) since the December 2019 Board.
• Due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, the EAC had a virtual meeting on 25
March 2020. Many items scheduled for the meeting were postponed.
• Since the last report to the Board, the EAC has:
o Discussed novel evaluation methods in the face of COVID-19
impacting on traditional data collection approaches. The EAC
discussed the utility of a pulse survey to understand the impact of
COVID-19 on Routine Immunisation and that considerations and
questions around COVID-19 be considered as a part of ongoing
evaluations;
o Provided guidance on the draft questions for the final evaluation of
the Advance Market Committment (AMC);
o Approved the addition of the Fragility, Emergencies, Refugees Policy
to the 2020 Evaluation Workplan;
o Provided guidance to the Secretariat on how to strengthen utility of
learning products and communication of evaluation findings; and
o Provided detailed feedback on the Terms of Reference (ToR) for the
evaluations of Gavi’s Engagement with the Private Sector and the
Supply and Procurement Strategy. Final reports are expected Q4
2020.
• The EAC will focus on the 2021 workplan and supporting Gavi to develop a
robust Theory of Change for Gavi 5.0 and an evaluation work plan which
reflects the impact of recent Gavi Alliance Board decisions related to
COVID-19. This should include how COVID-19 programming affects Gavi’s
other investments.

Report to the Board
Board-2020-Mtg-3-Evaluation Advisory Committee Chair Report
• One of the key principles for 5.0 is to strengthen learning from evidence.
Identifying relevant evaluation questions early on will enable timely
generation of evidence.
• The EAC believes that Programme and Policy Committee (PPC) and Gavi
Alliance Board decisions could be better informed by past evaluations (e.g.
section in the Board papers referring to relevant findings; pre-Board
briefings, etc).
• The EAC Chair Report is attached in the form of a presentation as Annex A
and the EAC recommendations to the Board are attached as Annex B.

Annex A
Gavi 5.0 and COVID-19Observations
• The Secretariat has instituted pulse surveys and incorporated questions related to the
pandemic into ongoing evaluations
• In recent weeks Gavi has adopted a number of changes to its policies and programs in
response to COVID-19
• Understanding the effects and impact of those changes on COVID-19 and Gavi more
broadly (positive and negative) requires urgent attention and investment in evaluation
Questions
• What are the the broader challenges that Gavi programmes will face because of the
pandemic and how can Gavi start evaluating the impact?
• To what extent are processes in place to assess key shifts and define evaluation priorities?
• What are the priority questions for the Board?
• New challenges require new evaluation methods – the field is ready, is Gavi?
